Bethesda, MD: Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, 2003. Ephemera. Format is approximately 3.25 inches by 2.25 inches, with information on both sides. Illustrations and text have color. This is a card with emergency contact information. It has phone numbers for the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute Medical Radiobiology Advisory Team (MRAT), the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS), for a Chemical Incident--the National Response Center, and for a Biological incident--the Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.

Acting on the human body, the blast shock waves cause pressure waves through the tissues. These waves mostly damage junctions between tissues of different densities (bone and muscle) or the interface between tissue and air. Lungs and the abdominal cavity, which contain air, are particularly injured. The damage causes severe hemorrhaging or air embolisms, either of which can be rapidly fatal. The overpressure estimated to damage lungs is about 70 kPa. Some eardrums would probably rupture around 22 kPa (0.2 atm) and half would rupture between 90 and 130 kPa (0.9 to 1.2 atm).

"Ten Seconds" was a factual and chronological account of the events preceding the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. Originally produced as a television special and motion picture in 1963. {may be only an excerpt]. A nuclear and radiation accident is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency as "an event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility." The U.S. military has established a system for mission-specific risk-based dose limits that includes life-saving activities. Patients with medical or traumatic injury who also have whole-body or significant partial-body irradiation (combined injury) have a worse prognosis and will require a higher triage priority.
